Scenario: BTC pulls back to 95k near the 90-day rVWAP, while XMR peaks around 800 with a 15 billion market cap. What happens next? The beta plays like DASH could see significant downside pressure if the rally truly caps out. These altcoins rode the coattails of XMR's momentum without fundamental support—pure FOMO chasing.

For Bitcoin, Friday could spell trouble. The macroeconomic backdrop looks shaky, and any risk-off sentiment could trigger another leg down. Watch the technicals closely; a break below key support levels would confirm weakness. The market's been choppy lately, so don't get caught off-guard by sudden moves.

BTC-1,55%

DASH13,1%

It's that FOMO narrative again... xmr is full, and altcoins should be the ones to take the hit. Things like dash should have already cooled off. If Friday really crashes, it will be interesting. I'm skeptical about the 95k level; let's wait for the support level to speak.

Ah, DASH and similar things have long bored me; it's just a playground for pure FOMO bagholders. Once XMR hits 800, I start questioning life... How many chives will be harvested in this wave? If it really breaks the support level on Friday, I bet five bucks I'll hear a bunch of "bottom is in" arguments again haha. 95k feels like a trap, but I can't bring myself to sell. With the macro environment so weak, still hoping for stability? What are you thinking, brother?

XMR this wave is really absolute, but those Dash followers chasing the high will get hit, pure FOMO has no confidence. Friday's situation did look a bit fierce, a macro disturbance can easily cause a flash crash, so it's still important to hold the support levels. The 95k level doesn't seem very stable... don't be fooled by the rebound. The story of altcoins is over, now let's see how BTC will perform. Those who chased the high should be a bit panicked now haha. If the technicals don't cooperate, next week might be quite tough.

Is it going to crash again and again? This wave of XMR is really outrageous. Coins like DASH that follow the trend should have woken up long ago... Pure FOMO accumulation, it breaks with a single poke. BTC is still entangled around 95k, and I was a bit panicked at that level on Friday.

95k is about to break, I’ve been saying this position is full of danger signals... The FOMO-driven coins like DASH really should cut their losses, it’s a pure FOMO market, no fundamentals, just a death trap. On Friday, bloodshed is probably inevitable. With such chaotic macro conditions, risk aversion will cause the entire market to collapse. I’ve already set my stop-loss levels, just waiting for the breakdown... Once the technical support is lost, the head and shoulders pattern will be confirmed. I failed to buy the dip at the high last time, I can’t make the same mistake again, but I just can’t seem to change this bad habit... --- XMR rising to 800 is just a game of musical chairs, latecomers are all cannon fodder. The momentum of altcoins has already been exhausted, now it depends on whether Bitcoin can hold the 95k line. --- Honestly, seeing each technical indicator turn bearish makes me anxious. MACD already had a death cross, yet the bullish stance persists—it's really self-deception. --- Here we go again with the review... This move should have been reduced when XMR topped out. How did I not hold back at that time? Pure operational mistake. --- Market cycles are like this: they rise quickly and fall even faster, especially for coins with no solid fundamentals, it’s a guaranteed zero-outcome expectation.

XMR this wave is really fierce, but DASH might be in for a beating next, pure FOMO trading... If it breaks support on Friday, be careful; the macro situation is unpredictable. BTC at the 95k level is a bit awkward, feeling like it's testing repeatedly. Altcoins without fundamentals are just gambling, and will eventually return to the origin. It feels like a change is coming; there might be some stories over the weekend.

95k this level is indeed a bit precarious, it feels like the booster fuel is running out XMR is going crazy this wave, but I bet five bucks that the group following DASH will be trapped Friday might come with an emergency brake, macro clouds are gathering Don't ask me how I see it, I just feel there's a bit of a destructive deja vu in this wave Altcoins are purely FOMO harvesting, if it drops, it will really look bad Don't break the key support, brother, if it does, we'll have to hibernate again After the dopamine high, there's a period of virtual exhaustion, everyone pay attention to the risks This round of correction might be more intense than expected, hold on tight
